GREEN THUMB THURSDAY: Native Plants

Hi, it’s Jenny from My Garden Nursery!

Today’s tip: Garden in harmony with the land you love—plant native!
Native plants like red-flowering currant, vine maple, and Oregon grape are more than just tough—they’re timeless. These beauties have evolved with our rainy winters, dry summers, and local wildlife. That means less watering, less fuss, and a whole lot more harmony in your garden.

Looking for natives with berries? Try snowberry, gaultheria or red huckleberry.
Need texture and year-round green? Sword ferns and salal never disappoint.

And here’s the magic: when you plant natives, your garden becomes a sanctuary—alive with bees, butterflies, and birds that belong here, just like you do.

At My Garden Nursery, we believe in plants that belong—to our region, to our climate, and to your backyard. Visit us on East Bakerview Road, and let’s create something naturally beautiful.
